Speaker 4: Tang and so Terrek. So these guys are great. It's

Speaker 3: So when you wear that sweatshirt, it helps the show.

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: See it does well. Martin Luther King Day here in

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: the United States Ken Fler looking Good as always, one

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: of the most important holidays of the year, official observed

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: in all fifty states, not until the year two thousand.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: You believe that can flow, wow, but an important day.

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: It means the kids are home from school. Such a

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: blessing that is right all downstairs making a bunch of

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: fucking noise. But what a weekend it was UFC two

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: to forty six McGregor versus Cowboy Ray Longo coming up

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: here in a minute to open the show. But a

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: huge weekend for Connor McGregor, a huge fight week for

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: Connor McGregor. Say what you will about Donald Serni, and

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: we certainly will talk about his side of things, and

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 3: Connor McGregor was absolutely a three to one favorite this weekend.

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: But you talk about maximizing the showcase, showcase, excuse me,

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: you talk about style points, You talk about doing as

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: much with this fight and this week in front of

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 3: him as he possibly could have. It was a banner

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: week for Connor McGregor. You thought it was going to

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: be a quick one can flow. You were convicted and

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: that as respectfully as you could be, and forty seconds in,

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: Connor McGregor gets it done, obviously in a big way.

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: A huge weekend for Connor McGregor, but perhaps a bigger

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: weekend for the UFC. You think about how much was

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: on the line. The UFC just is not as interesting

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: with Connor McGregor out of the picture. That's just a fact.

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: And I think with Connor McGregor coming back and looking

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: as good as he did, I thought was huge for

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: the organization. It was huge for Connor McGregor, of course,

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: and I think that for him if he wanted that

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: next big fight, whether it's mas Vidal, Gae Chee Habib,

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: whatever it is, I think a lot of people probably

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: felt that he needed to look good to justify that

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: next big fight. He certainly did that. He made it

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: look easy, man, and just an amazing performance. Besides him

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: kind of leaping forward and looking for that knockout shot

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: for his first punch right off the bat once he

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: settled in, I mean, it was just all Connor McGregor.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 4: You know, everyone's talking about these shoulder shots, and yes,

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: we've seen him before. I've worked them. A lot of

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 4: people have done these in fights, But to throw them

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: with that kind of effectiveness, you have to be super loose,

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: and it kind of it's thrown like a whip, and

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: to be able to do it like that with that

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: kind of effect is bloodying the nose of SRONI I mean,

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: first ten seconds of that fight, Seroni already had a

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: bruised orbital from that knee. His nose was bloody. I

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: mean it was just complete violence from Connor McGregor to

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: strike that fight.

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: It's funny because I was gonna lead with you on

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: the shoulder strikes, and I'm glad you referenced the whip

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: because when I was doing the post show with ChIL

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: sonon and Michael bisbeing, I forget who brought it up,

69
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: but some were suggesting not only was the angle great

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 3: and the level change with the shoulder strikes, but that

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: instead of maybe hitting with that front, meaty part of

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: the shoulder, that the angle was such that he hit

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: with that bone on top of the shoulder. Either way

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: very damaging and either way, Ray long goes on hold.

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: So let's not keep him there. Let's get to the

76
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: Ray Longo minute.

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: It's now time for the Ray Longo minutes, and I'm going.

78
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: To punch a hole in his fucking chicks.

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted the Ray Longo minute during Ray Longo,

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: the John Nick and Kenny Florian.

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Podcast, Oh starring Ray Longo is right, no sponsor for

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: the Ray Longo minute this week. I'm told that that

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: Ray is unable to be on video. Sponsor wants to

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: see you, Ray. They want to see if you've been

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: working out in the Tanning Booth of late I told them, yes.

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should be in the Tanning booth. John is

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: about fourteen degrees in Long Island. Today's season out. Man,

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 5: I feel like living in the Tanning booth. But now

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: I'm white as a ghost and I'm ready to Let's

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: see who how many people we could piss off today? John?

91
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, for better or for worse? Rightfully, so

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: or not? You're you're sort of, at least for our listeners,

93
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: the poster child for the anti Connor McGregor movement.

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: So uh so, you know, the point is, I'm a

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: by Conor McGregor antics. I like the guy that shows

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: up in fights and he's humble and you know, analyzes

97
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: the fights the right way and doesn't get too crazy.

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: That's that's cool, you know.

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: So all indications were being there during fight week the

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: Conor McGregor had put in all the right work that

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: he got back to a great communication way with his coaches.

102
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: Right.

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: You heard him say that he's sharing his instincts and

104
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: his thoughts with them when maybe there was a time

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: when he wasn't doing that. I think they did a

106
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: great job just moving past everything and focusing on what

107
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: was ahead of them, being desperate, being hungry, and I thought,

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: even though we only got forty seconds ray, the Connors

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: just looked outstanding.

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: Well, look, man, he definitely showed up to fight, And yeah,

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: it can't be easy with all the personal stuff and

112
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: everything that's been going on. So you know, hats off

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: to him. He did come to fight. You know, it's

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 5: a big win for the UFC. And I feel bad

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: for Seroni, you know what I mean, because I like

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: the guy. I think he's been great for the UFC.

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 5: I was hoping he could overcome his demons and show

118
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 5: up and put on a good performance, but it looked

119
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: like those old instincts, you know, froze them up again.

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: So Kenny and I were talking offline that if I,

121
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: you know, if I was paid one hundred dollars a

122
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: second in there, how long could I last maybe fifteen

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: seconds to just get on a bike and run. But

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 3: from a fight IQ standpoint, And I'm not really bringing

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: it up to be funny as much as I am

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: bringing it up to sort of talk about the Sereni

127
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: side of things and why he didn't retreat and knowing

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: the danger of those first few minutes, why he maybe

129
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: didn't disengage. I mean, maybe he didn't think he could

130
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: be overpowered in the clinch. It all happened very quickly.

131
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Seroni from an IQ standpoint

132
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: and why he wasn't able to adjust despite the brevity

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: of the fight.

134
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 5: Man, I gotta say, I have I have no idea

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: besides the fact that what I saw is just the

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: guy that looked like he froze up. I mean, he

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 5: slips the left hand. I would have thought, just instinctively,

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: that guy ends up on his back, you know, I

139
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 5: mean he almost went over him. And then and then

140
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: then uh, you know, we got hit with a couple

141
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: of shoulder bumps, which is definitely nothing new. Uh and

142
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: he instead of knee and the RELBA. I don't know

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 5: what he did. You have to ask him what was

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: going on? You know, just uh, it looked like he

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: just froze up to me. Uh, you know, ray for me,

146
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: fight I fight IQ. Obviously, I think Kenny there was

147
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 5: no fight IQ. There was I don't think he's well,

148
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 5: I don't know what he did well that.

149
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: I think that was my problem heading into this fight

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: is Donald's you know, he's such a proud guy and

151
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: he's such a tough guy that he leads with that

152
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: in a lot of his fights and kind of pays

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: for it, you know. But for all those people out

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: there that are saying that Donald Seroni took a dive

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: or the UFC paid off cowboy, I mean, it kind

156
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: of makes me sick to my stomach to hear that

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: and see that, uh you know out there. I think

158
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: that it's an easy solution, Ray, is you get those

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: people to get hit by a professional fighter, just like

160
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: Donald Ceroni did and then ask them if they think

161
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: it's actually still a fixed fight or not. But Ray,

162
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: did you see any of those comments and what did

163
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: you think about people? I mean, you've been in the

164
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: fight game a long time. Does that look like like

165
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: he threw the fight to you?

166
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you here's the weird part of that, though, Kenny,

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: is that the room is like, you know, three weeks

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 5: ago a month that he was gonna throw the fight,

169
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: and then the fight goes like that. It couldn't have

170
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: been a worst case scenario for like if that room

171
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: never came out, and I go, yeah, but the fact

172
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 5: that it came out, like why would that have even

173
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 5: come out? And then you see that. So I think

174
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: it gave those guys that wanted to see that, it

175
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 5: gave them traction. And you know, look, look, look it's

176
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 5: a win for the UFC. Right. They controlled the narrative

177
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: of this thing, right, the most, the bonuses the most,

178
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: this the most. They didn't obviously they weren't going to

179
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: advertise the guy was coming off with two losses, two

180
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: knockout losses. So they did a great job in selling

181
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 5: that fight. But the reality was, like, I feel bad

182
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: for Justin Gachee. He just did the same thing to him.

183
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: Nobody even Cad. It was just another fight, you know,

184
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: and you know, kind of knocks him out, and it's

185
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 5: a it's they're gonna they're gonna ride this thing because

186
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: you know, look at the money makers. So for them,

187
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: it's a that was a huge, huge thing. But again,

188
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: I do think they did a great job of controlling

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 5: the narrative and highlighting all the good points. And you know,

190
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 5: obviously you don't want to do it as a promotion

191
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 5: bring up the bad points. But you know, I think, uh,

192
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: I think when you look at the whole thing, it

193
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 5: just gave some of those haters or whatever you want

194
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: to call him down is just traction. I mean, if

195
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: that thing never came up, I'm saying that that wouldn't

196
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 5: have been brought up. But the fact that it was

197
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 5: brought up a couple of weeks ago was weird, you know.

198
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: And then the way the fight played out. You know,

199
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 5: I don't know. I I because I did see it

200
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: and I and I've had people calling me. You know,

201
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: what do you think he didn't get hit with the shin,

202
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: he didn't get hit with the foot, he got hit

203
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: with a toe. You know, I'm here and everything, So

204
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, I was really hoping that serony.

205
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 5: I wanted Donald to win the fight. I really did.

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 5: I you know, the grandmother thing. Everything just looks like

207
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: a feel good story if he could get the win.

208
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 5: But uh, and you know, on the other side, I'm

209
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: happy for McGregor. Look, the guy, without a doubt, has

210
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: done a lot for the sport, and he's a showman

211
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: for sure, and he comes to fight and he brings

212
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: an intensity and ambiance to that octagon like nobody else.

213
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 5: So you know, hats off to him, you know, But

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: from a pure fight standpoint, I would rather have seen

215
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: him fight justin Gagee. He just beats Croney White. Take

216
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: a guy coming off of two losses. You know, I

217
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: would as a fight fan, there's so many great fights

218
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 5: to make, uh that I would have, you know, rather

219
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: have seen that, to be honest with you.

220
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: Well, and I think a lot of that history though,

221
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: of course. But you know, we've had that conversation. And

222
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: obviously that might have been a pick him fight. According

223
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: to Las Vegas and Coma, McGregor wouldn't have been a

224
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: three to one favorite. But people really do want to

225
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: knock the value and the quality of this win against

226
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: Donald Sorony. And even though Soroni's performance certainly left a

227
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: little bit to be desired at the end of the

228
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: day for Connor McGregor, with all the pressure on him,

229
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: you still have to go out and deliver. You know,

230
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: he did do it, I think a little bit head on,

231
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: hang on, he still did do it a little bit

232
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: quicker than Justin Gatchee at one and yeah, well right

233
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 3: and at one hundred and seventy pounds, so ray as

234
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: we do spin it forward, right.

235
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 5: But again, but Johnny Keenny at that point, he did

236
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: it at one seventy. Why would you give the guy

237
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 5: a shot at one fifty five. Then right, well, why

238
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 5: why would you talk about that? Why not talk about

239
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: you know, Usman or even Joye Mazvedal.

240
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: Well, And it seems like because of the calendar that

241
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 3: it is gonna gonna spin that way because Eve and

242
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: Tony are going to fight in April, in the earliest

243
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: that Connor would be fighting for the undisputed the lightweight

244
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: title would be September or October. So but Kenny and

245
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: I were sort of talking a little bit, I believe,

246
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: off air, and we were going to get into it.

247
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: This this performance, this effort doesn't give you any more

248
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: confidence in him against Jorge Mosfidal per se ray or

249
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: does this maybe make that fight more intriguing for you competitively?

250
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 5: Uh? Well, you know, like again what kind of you

251
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: know he comes? I think when you fight him, you're

252
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 5: fighting not just him, You're fighting whatever else he brings

253
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: into the octagon. So he's gonna hype it up and

254
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: you have to overcome a couple of things. So it

255
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: looks like again like even with Serni, and it wasn't

256
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: really he didn't you know what I liked about kind

257
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: of this time. There wasn't a lot of build up

258
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 5: to the fight, and he had respect for Cowboy and

259
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 5: vice versa, and I love that that part, you know,

260
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: I'm always gonna love. But he does bring an ambiance

261
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 5: that could, you know, alter the course of that fight,

262
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 5: you know, which is great. So I think a fight

263
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 5: between him and Masdel would be fantastic for everybody.

264
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: You know, for me, you know, I know you mentioned Geechee,

265
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: and that's a fight that we've talked about that I

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: would love to see. But uh, you know, I do

267
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: not see Gaechie getting by Connor. I actually think that

268
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: it's he has a style that favors Connor. He comes forward.

269
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: Connor's a tremendous counter counterpuncher. If Dustin Poie could knock

270
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: out Justin Gaigie, there's no doubt in my mind that

271
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: Connor could do the same thing. Perhaps Quicker still a

272
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: dangerous fight just because of Kage's power and his willingness

273
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 4: to get in there. So that alone, of course, is

274
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: always going to be a danger for for anybody, just

275
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: based on Gaigie's style. But because he does come forward

276
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: like that, I I think I think that's a fight

277
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: that's kind of tailor made for for Connor.

278
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 5: No, I agree, one hundred percently of Kenny. But my

279
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: point was I think Kichi earned the right for that

280
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 5: fight before before. Uh.

281
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: It's a valid point. It's a valid point, absolutely, you

282
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: know that that's the that's the only issue.

283
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 5: Why not take that fight? That would have been to

284
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 5: me if you're really analyzed and you got to take

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 5: the guy to beat him, not you know, two guys,

286
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: you know, not coming off with two losses.

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: You know a plan by gauging, especially if the plan

288
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: is to fight Habiba for the belt of fifty without of.

289
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 5: Doubt you're in the one fifty five thing. And like

290
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 5: you say, it's a perfect fight, it's more like an

291
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: Eddie Albarez fight where a guy's coming forward and Count

292
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: Con is a great count, a bunch of And I

293
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 5: think that would have to me. I'm just saying, you know, lineal,

294
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: I mean some sort of logic. It would have made

295
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: more sense, you know what I mean? So uh, And

296
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 5: I think the fans would have appreciated that more.

297
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: And that's fair.

298
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Hey, Raymond, you got anything else before we let

299
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: you fly? I actually I met Tom Brady Saturday.

300
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 5: Wait wait what I didn't hear that?

301
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: What was no? I just said I met Tom Brady

302
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: Saturday night. I was just telling you, it's kind of

303
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: fun to be able to thank Tom Brady.

304
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: That was that was a great post you put up.

305
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well thanks for the one.

306
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: Thing you got to give kind of credit. Man, everybody

307
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 5: came out for that fight. I mean it was I

308
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: don't remember that many people being out of fight before

309
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: had a.

310
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: Lot of hyph prow. He brings them out. He brings

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: the athletes out of specially.

312
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: I mean, he really has done the fans. I don't

313
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: think anybody's come close to doing the job that he's

314
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 5: done with that. Man he is he has cross barriers

315
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: with a lot of sports and you know, it's it's uh,

316
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: it's it's actually wild to watch.

317
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I really believe that he's back for legacy

318
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: and back to add to what he's already done and

319
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: wanting to prove himself not just as the biggest superstar

320
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: mixed martial arts, but one of the greatest of all time.

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: You know, he wants to be mentioned in that George

322
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Saint Pierre John Jones conversation and that's a big reason.

323
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: That's a big cornerstone of this whole return and fighting

324
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: season and everything else.

325
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 5: Did That'll be great, that'll be that's a win, win

326
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: for the uh, for the UFC, and it's a win

327
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: for the fans.

328
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: All right, buddy, Well long go's lock of the week

329
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: zero to one. You had over a round and a

330
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: half from McGregor SNI So you know what push ups

331
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: for me this week?

332
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 5: I gotta I don't think there's anybody worse than me

333
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: at this point.

334
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: You're on and one. What do you mean we just

335
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: started out?

336
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: What about Macy? Bob, I thought that was.

337
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: A lot brow of everybody did.

338
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was crazy, heads off to rock stand. What

339
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: a nice girl and what a huge win for her,

340
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: and you know, speedy recovery to what Macy? I think

341
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: she's a sweetheart with a huge future and uh obviously

342
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 5: that that knee was compromised pretty bad.

343
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, my man. Well, uh, we appreciate your

344
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: time and and your candor. As always, buddy, We'll let

345
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: you fly man, see you soon.

346
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 5: All right, all right, guys, take it easy.

347
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: There is very long a minute every week here on

348
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: the Anakin Florian Podcast. That was crazy, Roxane Modaferry and

349
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: Macy Barber and Macy of course has a lot of

350
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: qualities and prerequisites to be in a Chanceampion for sure

351
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: showed you all that hard. But bro, I know you said, yeah,

352
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: a little little squeeze on Raquel. Huh excuse me for Roxy, Yeah,

353
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: for shits and giggles. They said, take a little bit,

354
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: just do it, see what happens, and uh, sure enough

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: she pulled it off.

356
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: Man. Obviously there was unfortunate injury there to to Macy,

357
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: But Roxy is sneaky good man. She's she can upset

358
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: a lot of those good fighters in that division. And

359
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 4: it was happy to see a true veteran like Roxy,

360
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: one of the one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet,

361
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: you know, definite martial artist, and she's been in the

362
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: game for a long time. She deserves that praise and

363
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 4: that win.

364
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: And she's really changed herself around physically. Kenny whole strength

365
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: and conditioning program for three straight fights under this guy,

366
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: Lorenzo Pablica. I mean you saw a real definition of

367
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: her up on that scale. Also said she's been working

368
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 3: with a new boy TI coach there at Sindicy right,

369
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 3: so throwing those elbows, said, she's like busted like she dude,

370
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 3: she busted somebody real bad in the gym right with

371
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: the outbright and then caused that cut on. Macy got

372
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: damn Barb for the minus one thousand favorites. Love Macy,

373
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: do believe she'll get belted one day. But for Roxane

374
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: Mona Ferry, huge result over the weekend for Connor McGregor Kenny.

375
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: You know, I've been pretty steady in my conviction and

376
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: belief that Connor really was back for legacy and these

377
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: are wins that really are going to help him going forward.

378
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: I am disappointing that people are going to denigrate it.

379
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: I know that maybe this matchup lacked a little juice

380
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: because Donald Troni had lost to in a row. But

381
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: I hope that people will give Connor credit for this performance.

382
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: And the thing is, even in a matchup that maybe

383
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: didn't lend itself to him having getting a bunch of

384
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 3: style points because he was supposed to go out and win, Like,

385
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: would people be happier They probably would be if it

386
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: went seven and a half minutes or more and he

387
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: got touched a few times and had to dig deep

388
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 3: a little bit or whatever it may be to me,

389
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: look at this clean untouched puts himself in line to

390
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: maybe make this back to back training camps and turn

391
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: around quickly if they could somehow out of pay per

392
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: view or figure it out. I just don't know what

393
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: people are looking for, and it's either I'm a schill

394
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: or you know, and with I just you know, people

395
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: need to give this guy more credit than in my

396
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: humble fan opinion.

397
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: I absolutely believe that, and listen to you know, people

398
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 4: have a certain perception of Connor McGregor. It doesn't matter

399
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 4: what he does, people are always going to see him

400
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: in a negative light based on what he's done or

401
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: what he said, or you know, the reports of the

402
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: news or whatever. And I think Connor McGregor has made

403
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: a concerted effort in having a different approach energetically to fights.

404
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: I think we saw that against Cowboys, showed a lot

405
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 4: of respect. He seems like a changed man now. It

406
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: seems like he's really dedicated to just improving as a

407
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 4: martial artist and staying in the gym and getting better

408
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 4: as he should. And that is about staying on the

409
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: path of staying on the warriors path. And I think

410
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 4: that when you reach that kind of stardom and that

411
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: kind of you become that kind of celebrity, it is

412
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: easy to kind of drink it up and believe that

413
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: you are something else, and if you are doing that

414
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: stuff thing else, it's taking away from your ability to

415
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: become a better athlete, a better martial artist. And I think,

416
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: you know, he looked at himself, I think, very honestly

417
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 4: and said, what the heck am I doing here? I'm

418
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: wasting precious time. I have this gift, I enjoy fighting.

419
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: This is what I should be doing, and if I'm

420
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: doing anything else, it's taking away from my profession and

421
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: from my legacy. And I think he has taken a

422
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: serious look at himself. He's saying all the right things.

423
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: He certainly looked phenomenal. Who has finished Donald Ceroni quicker

424
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: than Connor McGregor had one hundred and seventy pounds, right, No,

425
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: I mean he did it quicker than Darren Till He

426
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: did it quicker than Mosby Doll, you know, right, didn't he? Yeah?

427
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: Oh, I believe he did. I know Dosanjos was close

428
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: to a minute. That was at fifty five and a

429
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: body shot right, and McGregor didn't get touched. He didn't

430
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: get I mean, there wasn't a mark on him. He

431
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: didn't really get hit.

432
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: It was just all Connor McGregor, and you look at

433
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: everything that Connor McGregor was dealing with, you know, over

434
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 4: the last few months, and all the pressure and you know,

435
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: all this stuff outside. I mean, there was a lot

436
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: to deal with. And the fact that Cormor McGregor was

437
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: to pull it off in this manner against the veteran

438
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: like Donald CERRONI I think deserves some praise. Look at

439
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: the resume, look at the people that he's beaten. Take

440
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: away all your perception of him, what he said, look

441
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: at what he's done. It's extremely impressive.

442
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: You hit a lot of good points and I'm glad

443
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: I don't have to make him Two other things. I'll

444
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: add there's a lot of motivation in this man, right,

445
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: just as an athlete, to do a lot of the

446
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: things that you lined out right, And that's really a

447
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 3: big part of this because the kids are a part

448
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: of it too, right, and that it is giving his

449
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: life some regularity, and it makes doing all of that

450
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: recreational stuff harder because the kids are jumping on you

451
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: at six or seven o'clock in the morning.

452
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 4: Right.

453
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: It's like, if you want to be a doting dad,

454
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: and all indications are that that is what he is

455
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: then they become a centerpiece of your life, if not

456
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: the center of your life, and everything else works around that.

457
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: And I think that's helped Connor McGregor a lot. But

458
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: he's just supremely motivated as an athlete, and all roads

459
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: are now open, Kenny, the question is on disputed welterweight

460
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: title shot is there. Undisputed lightweight title shot could be

461
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: there if he just wants to wait. We said a

462
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: win was going to open all roads, but everybody is

463
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 3: pointing to this fight against Jorge game Bread Mosfidal. You know,

464
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: the March seventh pay per view has two title fights

465
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 3: on it when you look at the way the calendar

466
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: lines International Fight Week could be his, of course, but

467
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: Connor kind of wants to put a training camp on

468
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: top of a training camp here, and that would lean

469
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: towards March or April. I mean, how soon do you

470
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: think they could put this Mosfidal fight together? And do

471
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: you think absolutely without a shadow of doubt that the

472
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: next fight for Connor is going to be game Bread

473
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: because Dana seemed to intimate that he wants to do

474
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: the could be Connor rematch and see game Bread fight

475
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: Kamara Usman for the welterweight title without an obvious number

476
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: one welterweight contender right now, your thoughts.

477
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 4: Listen, let's talk about the Masvidal fight. That's the biggest

478
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: fight that the UFC can put together. Period. Okay, if

479
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 4: they're trying to build their business up and make the

480
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: biggest fights possible, while you can, you jump on the

481
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: moz Vidal Connor McGregor fight. Imagine a four or five

482
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: city tour with those two hyping up the fight. It

483
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: would bring in millions and millions of dollars for the UFC.

484
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 4: I also think that you know, talk about legacy wise,

485
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: Look at Mazvedal. He is absolutely in his prime. He

486
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 4: has been just decimating his competition right now. If Connor

487
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 4: went out and beat Mosvidal right or for that matter,

488
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: if Mazvedal went out there and beat McGregor, it would

489
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 4: just elevate you know, one of those guys has the

490
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: true biggest star in the UFC right now. I think

491
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 4: that's a fight that needs to happen. I think both

492
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: of those guys' skills are at a very at a

493
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: very high level. I think we would have an extremely

494
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 4: entertaining fight. What's so intriguing about it is that it's

495
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: a very difficult fight to call, and for that, I

496
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: think you have, you know, your hardcore Masvidal fans, you

497
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: have your hardcore McGregor fans, and you have your haters

498
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: on both sides. That is a huge fight that has

499
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: to happen, and I think it's the second most impressive.

500
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 4: It would be the second most impressive win legacy wise

501
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: if you're talking about that. For Connor McGregor, the first,

502
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: of course would be if he got that rematch win

503
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 4: over Habib Namaga metof But obviously with that fight against

504
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 4: Tony Ferguson, that would push it a little bit further

505
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: down the line. Why not fight at one hundred and

506
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: seventy pounds, It does not affect him at fifty five.

507
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: Just take the fight. He always has that Habib fight,

508
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: you know, maybe Habib's thirtieth fight and he either goes

509
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 4: out and retires or whatever. So I think the stars

510
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 4: are aligning for that kind of fight. That's what should happen.

511
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 4: It's very rare that you have two superstars that can

512
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: fight each other in fight sports. Make it happen, right.

513
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: Strike while the Irons hot Right Anderson Silvan George Saint

514
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: Pierre never fought right because the time in their problem. Yeah,

515
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 3: perfect at tight times, you know, But yeah, this is

516
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 3: certainly the fight to make. According to most fans. Every

517
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: fan I talked to in Vegas, they either were talking

518
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 3: about this podcast are talking to me about that fight.

519
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: And this was before Connor McGregor went out and did

520
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: that to Donald Cowboys. SERRONI, it's interesting you talk about

521
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: legacy and what win would give his legacy the biggest

522
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: strengthen if you would, right, because I went on Toronto

523
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: radio station this morning and they asked me the same

524
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: question and I didn't necessarily have the obvious answer. So

525
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: you seem to believe Avenging the loss to Kabib legacy wise,

526
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: might be bigger than a mas fetal win or not necessarily. Yeah, okay,

527
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: so let me ask you this. Okay, let me ask

528
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: you this. So would the biggest win for his legacy.

529
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: I guess it would be Kabie, But an usman win, right,

530
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 3: given that matchup, right, would be tremendous. But you're at

531
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: least right now, you're not front of the line for

532
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: him getting an undisputed welterweight title show.

533
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also, as far as you know, Usman. I'm

534
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: not so interested in it. Listen. Uzman is a tremendous fighter.

535
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 4: I just think he's way too big for Connor. I

536
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 4: almost think it'd be like a bully style match. I

537
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 4: don't I don't know. I think we kind of know

538
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: what the result of that is. I just think Uzman's

539
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: way too big. That guy could fight at one hundred pounds,

540
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: you know, And if Connor is a true one hundred

541
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: and fifty five pounder, mos Vidal has fodowed one hundred

542
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: and fifty five pounds as well. He's not the biggest

543
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy pounder either. If we're talking about

544
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: quality matchmaking, that's the one that needs to happen. And

545
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 4: of course, what a story it would be if he

546
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: was to go out there and beat the undefeated Russian,

547
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 4: this guy who has been an absolute juggernaut, a guy

548
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: who really dominated him in that first fight. To come

549
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 4: back and pull off a win against Habib would be tremendous,

550
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 4: and I think it would set up Connor to actually

551
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: look like a hero in some ways and play the

552
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 4: good guy role. And so I don't know.

553
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: Well, if Connor McGregor fights again before June, you know,

554
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: those who suggested that this was a money play, well,

555
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: you got no choice but to eat some crow. And

556
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: I've eaten a lot of crow in my days, obviously

557
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: as a broadcast journalist or whatever. Right, But like the

558
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 3: dude is back for his fighting season and for legacy

559
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 3: and that come back. Say what you will about it,

560
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: but it's off to a damn good store. Someone also

561
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: mentioned Colby Covington on Twitter as a potential opponent. Right,

562
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 3: just in terms of the talk, I mean, maybe that

563
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: fight has some legs at some point down the road,

564
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: we'll see, so ken flow one thing before we spin

565
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: it forward. I just want to say, you were so

566
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: convicted on coddor McGregor early in this fight, right. And

567
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: it's tough because, like you're making your picks on Monday,

568
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: you don't have the benefit of fight week or the

569
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: way in or anything else. And when you pick I

570
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: got a win by first round knockout, you're also picking

571
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: some dude to get knocked out in the first round.

572
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: And that's kind of the way it is. And in

573
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: this day and age of social media, you know, you

574
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: can't be sure it didn't register on Serroni's radar. It

575
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: kind of is what it is, but certainly you kind

576
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: of felt that this would be one sided and that

577
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 3: was the way it went down.

578
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 4: I felt strongly about it. You know, I hate that.

579
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: I hate having to pick against another fighter, especially saying

580
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: that the guy doesn't have much of a chance. You know,

581
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: Seroni did have a chance. I just didn't like assuming

582
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: both fighters came in the way that they typically come

583
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 4: into a fight and the way that their skills match up.

584
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: I didn't love that fight for Serony early. He had

585
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 4: to get by that first round and kind of get

586
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: his wits back in that second and get his mojo

587
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: back in order to do something against Connor, in my opinion,

588
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 4: and obviously he never got there. Another thing, I will say,

589
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 4: it's also hard to judge Connor off of a forty

590
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: second performance as well. It sometimes it's a little bit

591
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 4: too quickly. It's impressive what he did for that for

592
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: that amount of time, but you know, to really say

593
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 4: that Connor is back, perhaps we should have seen at

594
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 4: least three solid rounds, And I think in some ways

595
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: Connor and his his camp wanted to see him get

596
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 4: into the championship rounds to get that feel for the

597
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: octagon back. Connor mentioned him getting a little excited at

598
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: times during that fight. Octagon time is octagon time, But

599
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: I think the more time you have in there, especially

600
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 4: after a long layoff, it just feels good good to

601
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 4: have that as a fighter, to have that, you know,

602
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: that mental feel, that physical, the rhythm, and feeling comfortable

603
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 4: and comfortable in there. Connor is certainly you know, he

604
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 4: shines brightest when the lights come on, so I don't

605
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: think that's an issue for him ring Russ and all

606
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: that stuff. He always shines. But as a fighter, you're

607
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: trying to log in some minutes and get experience to

608
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: get better, and you know, it's a difficult situation to

609
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: just judge Connor on forty seconds as well.

610
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and some people would feel better about Connor's chances

611
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 3: in a mos fatal fight had this one gone six

612
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: or seven minutes. I kind of feel like Serroni's a

613
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: dangerous fighter despite what we saw in those forty seconds.

614
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: So Connor, you might as well just get him out

615
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: of there, right, don't give him a chance to try

616
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: to kick you in the head, because again, this could

617
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: have gone very very differently. People just don't understand that, right.

618
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: Fighters understand it all right, Well, we got to spin

619
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: this thing forward, probably more on Connor and Serroni throughout

620
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: the show, but we need to get to the pronunciation

621
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: of the week. We did not do it last week.

622
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: All right, t J. Let's see if you can get

623
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 3: off to a good start here. This woman will face

624
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: Justine Kish at flyweight in Raleigh, North Carolina, this weekend. TJ.

625
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: Who am I talking about?

626
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: Kid?

627
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: If I get this right, it'll be a bigger upset

628
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: than rock Sande mounta Ferry.

629
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: Well, well, hang on, did I did this woman fighting

630
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 3: in Victor f C that I threw out here?

631
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: No?

632
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: Uh, you don't even know check definitely not okay, all right, Well,

633
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: how do you pronounce her name? Then?

634
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: Uh?

635
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: Lutzi Hoodlova. Well, let's let's hear Lucia. It's pronounced I believe.

636
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 4: Lu She has a very deep voice. What I'm saying yeah,

637
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: threw me for a loop.

638
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm pretty sure it's a guy talking.

639
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

640
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: So part of the yeah, you were afraid we had

641
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: to screw up. We don't want any screw ups after

642
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: losing the first seven minutes of the show last week,

643
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: So you come on now. So it's interesting. Part of

644
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: the reason I had the file play today is because

645
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 3: oftentimes you'll have a coach or manager say the fighter's name, uh,

646
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: and that's what we have here. She is and it

647
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: is Lucia Puti LoVa. So it's an zero to one

648
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: for Desantie here in twenty twenty. All right, we got

649
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: to make some picks. Huge start to twenty twenty for

650
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: Team Florian. Let us get to the Main Event challenge.

651
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: It's the Main Event Challenge and the time is most definitely.

652
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: Naidei Hi finished fights?

653
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:25,760

Speaker 2: Boss will to win the Main Event Challenge with John

655
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: Nnick and Kenny Florian podcast.

656
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: Oh it feels good to be picking some fights after

657
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: that three week hiatus. UFC two forty six is in

658
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: the can as they say, eight to four for Team

659
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: Florian out of the shoot. No such issues with a

660
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: slow start here in the new decade. If you want

661
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: to know about the dispersal, three points for Connor by

662
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: first round knockout. Also the under around and a half

663
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: can flow convicted as ever, both got three points for

664
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: Holly Holme by decision, so you get Holly the decision

665
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: of course rounds which you had accurately. Otherwise not a

666
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: great week, but we spend it forward to the UFC

667
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: fight Night Blades versus Dosantos, five fights for US total.

668
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: We will start in the Strawack division. Angela Hill minus

669
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: one sixty five Hannah Ciphers plus one forty five Angela Hill.

670
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 3: Busy twenty nineteen. She fought four times, at least one

671
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: of those on relatively short notice. She went two and

672
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: two on the year. Here she draws the no nonsense

673
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: North Carolina native Hannah Cipher's Ian Parker, Nice to see you.

674
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Who do you have here, Hannah Ceiphers or Angela Hill?

675
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 6: Gentlemen, Kenny, congratulations.

676
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 7: On picking the exact fucking result of the nine event.

677
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: I hate you.

678
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 7: I hope you would get out of that first round.

679
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 6: But whatever, I don't want to rant on that.

680
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 7: I'll take the loss like a man.

681
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 6: This is probably one of the only fights where I

682
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 6: would actually bet on Angela Hill. I think, in regards

683
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 6: to the size differctually, your Hannah is very small for

684
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: this division. She's very tough, she comes forward, but I

685
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: think that Angela Hill's takeout defens is good enough with

686
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 6: her strength and athleticism to keep Hannah at bay. I

687
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 6: think her striking is gonna be way better, faster, way

688
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 6: more power there. So without taking this and dragging this

689
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 6: thing out, I like Angela Hill here for the first

690
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 6: time in a betting situation as her as a favorite,

691
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 6: I will probably bet on Angela Hill, and I like

692
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 6: her in this fight.

693
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: Kem Flow Hannah Ciphers is one two straight overall ten

694
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: and three pro loss is all against good competition, tough hits,

695
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: hard works, hard works on a farm actually, so farmers

696
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: work hard. Camp Flow. What do you think here main

697
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: card fight, Angela Hill Hannah Ciphers.

698
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could definitely see that. Hannah is tough. You've

699
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: seen her take a lot of shots. She keeps coming forward. Yeah,

700
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 4: you know, Ian, I do think she has the advantage

701
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 4: on the ground. I don't see her getting there so

702
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: often against Angela. I see Angela really kind of getting

703
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: on her bike, sticking and moving, stopping to take down.

704
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: She's gonna be faster on the feet. Hannah's just a

705
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: little bit stiff, a little bit robotic with her with

706
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: her striking at this point in your game from what

707
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 4: I've seen so far. So I like Angela Hill in

708
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 4: that one. By decision all right.

709
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 3: Moving on to featherweight Arnold Allen, the prohibitive minus two

710
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: to seventy five favorite against the father of two daughters,

711
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: Old reliable Nick Lentz, who comes back at plus two

712
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: to fifteen. Now I say old reliable in summer lay

713
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: is he old reliable? Nick Lentz has fourteen UFC wins?

714
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: I think Ken Flow has twelve if I'm not mistaken

715
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: by the way ken Flow's winning percentage pretty goddamn high.

716
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: With the twelve UFC wins, by the way, but fourteen

717
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: UFC wins for Nick Lentz. Only thirty four fighters in

718
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: UFC history have fifteen wins or more. So this guy

719
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: finds a way, buddy, and he's the dog here because

720
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: Arnold Allen is six to zero in the UFC. What

721
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: do you think Ian Arnold Allen Nick Lentz here at

722
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty five pounds.

723
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 6: I absolutely love Arnold Allen as a prospect in general.

724
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 6: I think he's the real deal. I think in that

725
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 6: last fight against Gilbrien Melendez, he showed that he's got

726
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 6: all the tools to be a true threaten this division.

727
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 6: I think this is such a smart fight for him

728
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 6: to not just rush up the latter. I love Arnold

729
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 6: Allen here. I think Nick Lentz Old Reliable is a

730
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: great name. He's tough, he will come right fight, But

731
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 6: I think Arnold can handle the bull rush a league

732
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 6: can handle the wrestling, and I think he's just gonna

733
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 6: pick him apart on the feet. I love Arnold Allen here.

734
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 3: Kenny Arnold Allen ranked. I checked this morning, number fifteen

735
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: in the world. He was actually gonna face tenth rank

736
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: Josh Emmett in this fight or in this spot and

737
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: on this card, So that would have been a great

738
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: fight obviously, and he's beaten some tough competition along this

739
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 3: eight fight winning streak. You like him here in Raleigh

740
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: against the UFC test to Nick Lentz or what you know,

741
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: I do.

742
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 4: I think that Nick Lentz, if he's able to get

743
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 4: in on those legs and take him down, I think

744
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 4: he'll really, you know, give a lot of trouble to

745
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 4: Arnold Allen on the ground. Arnie not really known for

746
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: his ground game, and I think off of his back

747
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: nick Lentz could win a lot of rounds. But on

748
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 4: the feet, Arnie just has such a big advantage. I

749
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: think he's a lot quicker. He's got the knockout power.

750
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 4: Nick Lentz tends to struggle. I think in the transition

751
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 4: in the in betweens, you know, utilized going from the

752
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 4: striking into the takedowns. I think he might get caught

753
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: there against someone like Alan So. I like Arnold Allen

754
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: there as well.

755
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Have you trained with Arnold Allen Kenfler.

756
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: I have not. He does train at TriStar, and I

757
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: hear a lot of good things about him. And yeah,

758
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: he missed out on a great opportunity there against Josh Emmitt.

759
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: That was a big fight.

760
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and he'll you gotta think he's getting a

761
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: ranked upon it to put that one back together at something. Yeah,

762
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 3: I heard you call him Arnie Allen So, yeah, Arnie.

763
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 3: I kind of figured that there was h maybe he

764
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: heard fous or some of those guys referring to him

765
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: as such.

766
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do, they do. They call him Arnie.

767
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: Yeah see, I'm kind of thinking I should have named

768
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: my son Arnold Annett Caugh fucking little Arnie. You know,

769
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 3: I wanted to Pedro. My wife did not like Pedro,

770
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: but uh, we gotta move on, guys, got to move on.

771
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: At bantam wait Alex Perez modest two fifty five Jordan

772
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 3: Espinosa plus two oh five. So Tim Oyama is Alex

773
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: Perez nine and one spanning his last ten Espinosa born

774
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 3: and Connecticut trains out of New Mexico Contender series Guy

775
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: plus two h five underdog. Here we will lead with

776
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: the flow. Alex Perez Jordan Espinosa, Who do you have?

777
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I like Alex Perez here. Obviously haven't

778
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 4: seen a whole lot from from either guys necessarily, but

779
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 4: for Espinosa, I just think it's a little bit too

780
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: early to go against someone like Alex Perez. I think

781
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 4: Perez gets the winner.

782
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 3: What do you think Ian Perez minus two fifty five

783
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: fairly pronounced here. I thought it would be a little

784
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: bit closer. But I'm probably one of the few guys

785
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: that's seen all of Espinosa's Contender series, So what do

786
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 3: you think Perez the more known quantity?

787
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 8: Obviously if you're the only other person and I'm the

788
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 8: only person that's betting on him in the Contender series,

789
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 8: because that gave me something to do on Tuesday nights

790
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 8: with my addiction, So.

791
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 7: I agree here. I actually kind of like Jordan Espinosa

792
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 7: in this spot.

793
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 6: I think you know, his last fight against schnellmer Nell's

794
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 6: no slouch, and obviously to Kenny's point, Schnell has gotten

795
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 6: better on the ground and Espinosa was actually winning that

796
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 6: fight until Schnell caught this up, even though it really

797
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 6: didn't take that long. This is a very good wrestler,

798
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 6: which I think he has. I know Kny probably doesn't

799
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 6: love that play, but I think my Perez getting a

800
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: decision to win over a guy like markla Rosa. I

801
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 6: was expecting him to really dominate and get finished in

802
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 6: that fight. I think, with the odds here is a

803
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 6: pretty fun play. I think he's a live only because

804
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 6: I'm already down four point because Kenny was literally perfection

805
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 6: on that main event. I'm gonna roll the dice with

806
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 6: Espinosa's wrestling and think that it's gonna get put on

807
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 6: his back.

808
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 7: And if he does, he can grind out a decision here.

809
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 6: I don't love Perez's takedown defense, you know, and Joe

810
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 6: Jujitsu showed that a little bit in their fight, So

811
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 6: I'm going Espinosa.

812
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 7: As the underdog here.

813
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 6: That may change because I need a little bit more

814
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 6: time to watch both guys on tape, but from what

815
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 6: I've seen.

816
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 7: I think Espinosa is a live dog.

817
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: And I like your analysis when I heard of it

818
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: with that fucking Wi Fi Co main event, far more

819
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 3: known quantities here former lightweight champ, all around good egg

820
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 3: halfayl So Sanjo's minus two sixty the Ultimate Fighter Lives

821
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: Michael Kisa. He will always be introduced as such here.

822
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: Tough Lives Michael Kisa, plus two twenty outstanding comine event.

823
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see it. Ian, What do you think

824
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: here about Kias's chances as a plus two to twenty

825
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 3: dog against RDA.

826
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 6: You know what, at first, I was really leaning RDA

827
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 6: because of the striking difference here, but after watching Kisa's

828
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 6: size difference in the way he was able to manhandle

829
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 6: at one seventy, and it just becomes a grappling match,

830
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 6: which I think it will dirty against the cage, I think, yes,

831
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a much larger guy. I think the

832
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 6: height difference is going to make a huge difference in

833
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 6: that clinch. I think I'm gonna roll the dice here

834
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 6: and take Maverick. I like like I like him here.

835
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 6: I just there's something about that size. He just looked

836
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 6: healthier that waycut didn't bother him. He seems super confident.

837
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 7: He knew what he was doing. He was no second

838
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 7: guessing in that game plan.

839
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 6: As much as I have a big RDA fan, I

840
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 6: always have been, I think, yes, he's gonna give him

841
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 6: some problems, so I'm going with the underdog also in

842
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 6: this fight.

843
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very interesting, huge huge spot for Kisa. It

844
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 3: is the co main event. So I will get your

845
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: your method of victory in a round. You got Kisa

846
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: the dog in our scoring system, that would give you

847
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: an extra two points. How's he get it? Sorry?

848
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 6: Oh man, he's not knocking out r d A. I

849
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 6: don't think he's ever knocked out anybody. So if he's

850
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 6: gonna do it, I think it's gonna be a late

851
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 6: round submission. I hate to say round four sub. I'm

852
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 6: gonna go round three sub. I'm hoping he's able to

853
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 6: take the back of RDA and finish.

854
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 3: My rare naked choke if he if he ken fu

855
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 3: lick at his chops, that you were gonna go round

856
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 3: four sub in a three round fight.

857
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: You see that?

858
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been impressive. Can you imagine I.

859
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 7: Caught myself.

860
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 6: That's like the video game where they's one of those

861
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 6: glitches and you got broken.

862
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 4: Glitches.

863
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: Hitches TJ right here in every other goddamn word, Hey,

864
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: ken flow. So some research, Dosos tied for seventh on

865
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: the UFC's all time wins list. Wow, but he has

866
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: lost three or four over almost recently to Leon Edwards.

867
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: Only losses though, since twenty eleven, have all been to

868
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 3: elite guys. So six losses for dos Angos since twenty eleven,

869
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: five of them have been to fighters who have a

870
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: UFC championship belt of some kind at home, so only

871
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 3: really loses to the top top guys. That's not what

872
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: he's facing here. Kisa could go on to become that,

873
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: but these are the fights that Dosanos has made a

874
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: career of winning. Kissa going for three straight wins, Carlos Conta,

875
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 3: Diego Sanchez. Now he gets RDA, who wins the komain?

876
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 3: How do they get it done?

877
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: Well? Thank you for sending that up, because that's exactly

878
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 4: why I'm picking RDA at this point. Michael Kisa might

879
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 4: be that guy, but as of right now, I just

880
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 4: don't see him beat I just don't see him beating RDA.

881
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be difficult for him to get

882
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 4: those takedowns. I think that's where he could win this fight.

883
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: I do think that in a lot of ways he'll

884
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 4: be the best grappler against someone like Rdia. However, Rda

885
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: isn't bad in that department either. I think his leg

886
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 4: kicks matching up against Kisa, I think will be the difference.

887
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 4: If he's able to slow Kisa down, I think it

888
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 4: will only get worse from Mike. Michael really needs to

889
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 4: get in the clinch, slow Urda down, grind him down,

890
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 4: and then in that second and third really kind of

891
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: turn it on and try to hit some takedowns there.

892
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 4: If he's able to do that, Kisa could absolutely win

893
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: this fight, and it would be cool to see him

894
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: do that. I just think Rda is gonna, you know,

895
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 4: with his experience, is gonna be able to outstrike him,

896
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 4: keep this fight on the feet and really shine. I'd

897
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 4: like to say a TKO, but I'm gonna play it safe. Oh,

898
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 4: Ken Flow with the decision win here, all right?

899
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 3: Halfayl tos On just by decision to pick for Ken

900
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 3: Flow on the Comaine event, which brings us to the

901
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: headliner Curtis Razor Blades has anyone made like a Blades

902
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: of Steel T shirt with this guy like grounding and

903
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 3: having someone I.

904
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 7: Love that video game one of great reference.

905
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: Curtis Blades Monust two forty five Junior Dosantos plus two

906
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: h five. So Blade's obviously an interesting case. Most of

907
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 3: our listeners know his only pro losses are by knockout

908
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: to Francis and Gano, so undefeated except for fights against

909
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: that guy. Kind of needs Jarsenio Rosenstrike to beat Ghanu

910
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 3: in Columbus to open up a championship path here in

911
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. But if he gets past Junior Dosantos, it's

912
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: a huge veteran his cap and I think he'll probably

913
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 3: realize the title shot next year. This year, I should say,

914
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 3: if he wins Ian, what do you think I mean,

915
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: he's really starting to brutalize guys on the ground. Jds's

916
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: takedown defense is obviously held up in the past, but

917
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: has been tested by a lot of wrestlers. What do

918
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: you think about the main event here in Raleigh and

919
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 3: give us a prediction?

920
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 6: First and foremost, I want to apologize for the Wi FI.

921
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 6: I don't know why it's given you guys issues, but

922
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 6: I do apologize. I don't want to obviously be that guy,

923
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 6: but I am sorry for that. I think this is

924
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 6: Curtis Blade's opportunity to really like this is the matchup

925
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 6: he needs. I don't see, man, this is kind of

926
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 6: like a lesser version of Anghani at this point.

927
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 7: I think JDS is kind of on the end of

928
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 7: his career. I think blades is striking has come leaps

929
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 7: and bounds. Is my audio better by the way right

930
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 7: now or no?

931
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 4: Yep?

932
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry? Leaps and bounds from where he was.

933
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 4: I think if he's.

934
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 6: Got to utilize his wrestling game, though, he cannot get

935
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 6: cocky and confident that you know with Beang's blueprint that

936
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 6: he's able to really outstrike because JDS can turn down

937
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 6: around with one power strike. So I do like Curtis

938
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 6: Blades here. I think he's gonna wrestle him to death,

939
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 6: all right. I think it's gonna be I hate to

940
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 6: say a five round decision here for the heavyweights. So

941
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 6: I think he finishes JDS on the ground by ground

942
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 6: and pound in the third round. I think that is

943
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 6: the only way he really gets this done. I don't

944
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 6: want to see him try and jab his way to

945
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 6: victory here, He's got to use what got him to

946
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 6: where he was, understand his identity, and use the striking

947
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 6: just to set up those takedowns.

948
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: So I'm going Curtis Blaze, third round TKO Ken Flow.

949
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: Junior Dos Santos had to pull out of a fight

950
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: late in twenty nineteen, his last fight Francis and Gano

951
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: on the wrong end of that in the main event

952
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: in June in Minneapolis. Then he was on Dancing with

953
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: the Stars Brazil, and I'm interested to hear the media

954
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 3: ask him about it this week, and I can assuredly

955
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 3: tell you without hearing what he has to says that

956
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: he's gonna say it was hugely beneficial for muscles, that

957
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 3: he's not working otherwise and everything else. I'm curious to

958
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 3: see him back here against a really tough stylistic challenge

959
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 3: in Curtis Blades. What do you think about the main

960
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: event matchup and who gets it? Dumb k This is

961
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 3: a really tough one for me to pick. You know,

962
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 3: I feel like Junior Decentos will actually change as a

963
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: fighter even within the actual fight. You'll see, you know,

964
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 3: flashes of brilliance and then you'll see him really kind

965
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 3: of shut down with his offense a lot of times.

966
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 4: He's not an easy guy to take down. Though. I

967
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 4: think Curtis Blades does have a good wrestling background. I

968
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 4: think he's he could be dangerous with his own striking

969
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 4: as well. Does have some power, but I think he's

970
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 4: going to struggle, especially early on with his takedowns. I

971
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 4: believe I think he could start to hit those takedowns

972
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 4: a little bit later in the fight, perhaps as he

973
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 4: slows down Junior Decentos. And I'm guessing a little bit,

974
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 4: but I like Junior Descentos here. I actually think he's

975
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 4: gonna be able to stop a lot of those takedowns.

976
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna be a pretty fight, but

977
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: I think Docentos will outpoint him enough to win rounds

978
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 4: and win.

979
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 3: By decision JDS by decision for Kenflow thirteenth UFC main

980
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 3: event for the former champion Sigano. I absolutely love that

981
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: Ken Flow. Do you have an impression of Junior Dosantos?

982
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 3: Maybe next week, if he wins, you can give us

983
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: one watch some video and really kind of analyze a

984
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 3: little bit better next week. Next week, I'll tell I'll

985
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: give you a hint. I tried to get one good

986
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: enough for air today and couldn't do it. So I'm

987
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 3: gonna leave you with that. But you have to be

988
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: smiling when you're delivering the lines. I think is that

989
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: that's a good way to capture it, all right. Ian

990
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 3: Parker on social media at Parker Cage Hero. Thank you, buddy.

991
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 3: We will talk to you next week.

992
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, sir, Thanks guys, looking forward to it. Kenny, I'm

Speaker 5: You, hold on.

1002
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: I thought TJ wanted to kick me off.

1003
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 7: I was giving him the opportunity.

1004
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: Peace. Love you guys.

1005
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: See it, buddy, What a creep just hanging out in

1006
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 3: the corner like that.

1007
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 4: Weeriously.

1008
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 3: Are they going to bring me back on and ask

1009
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: me about Connor? Nope, not today, not today, because we've

Speaker 3: got to talk about Ken Flow seminar in the United Kingdom.

1011
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,480

Speaker 3: to your Instagram or your social media. At Kenny Floor

1018

Speaker 3: room only at this point. That's the whole There are

1020
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 3: still spots available as I understand it, in some of

1021
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 3: these spots if they want to uh train and meet

1022
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 3: you and all of that stuff, beginning next Monday, January

1023
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: twenty seven.

1024
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 4: That's right, I am. I'm actually heading to the UK

1025
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 4: on Saturday. I'm excited to be there, got a bunch

1026
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 4: of seminars lined up and can't wait to train with

1027
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 4: you guys and have a good time.

1028
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: How about that? Yeah, Antlow's UK tour begins one week

1029
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: from now. We got to get on out of here.

1030
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have any final thoughts. I

1031
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: did want to ask you before we go about Alexe

1032
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 3: Olinic and Maury Screen because I know you saw that

1033
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 3: fight and even just hearing the word scarf hold sounds

1034
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: uncomfortable to me. Definitely want to love the toughness of

1035
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 3: the crochet boss Mary screen. But how about Alexi Olinic

1036
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 3: right getting it done at this stage of his career.

1037
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: Had the Quintet Ultra grappling appearance against the King Gordon

1038
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: Ryan this summer. Those two I think have aligned. It

1039
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 3: was hard for me to hear in my call with Olenic,

1040
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 3: a few things got lost in translation, but I believe

1041
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: they're going to train together in the future and I

1042
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: don't know. Man jiu jitsu is just so fascinating for me.

1043
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 3: My favorite way to see a fight end is by submission.

1044
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 3: And this dude, Olenic and the squeeze, there were just

1045
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 3: so many angles to this. I want to give you

1046
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 3: sixty seconds on that.

1047
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 4: You know, if this is such a testament and such

1048
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 4: a win for grappling in general, I mean, how many

1049
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 4: forty six year old veterans with well over fifty fights

1050
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 4: could do that as a striker in the UFC. It's

1051
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 4: a difficult thing to do as a striker, you know,

1052
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 4: seeing all those models, but as a grappler you could

1053
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 4: still be very dangerous, even you know, at his age

1054
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 4: and the amount of fights that he's had. It was

1055
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 4: really cool to see o Lenict go out there and

1056
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 4: get the win. You know, he's not the fastest guy

1057
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 4: out there, but man, he makes it work. He's extremely effective.

1058
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 4: He's good at finishing fights. Olynics the man, dude.

1059
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what else, withstanding whatever striking storm he needs

1060
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 3: to and understanding that, you know, got to get those breathtsed, right,

1061
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 3: I mean, just incredible. And you say, you know, fifty

1062
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 3: plus pro fights, how about forty six submission wins and

1063
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 3: seventy two pro mma fights slightly off, Yeah, to speak

1064
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 3: of all the combat sambo and everything else. Crazy Boa constrictor.

1065
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 3: Oh and he's got five kids, by the way, if

1066
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 3: that's not enough, So if you're any kind of father

1067
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 3: and you have five kids, your life is a lot

1068
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: of fun.

1069
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 4: That's a warrior.

1070
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, all right, we got to get out of here.
